[sarcastictissy]

I have a lot of lovely asks and messages from people that I'm not able to respond to yet, but I just want to genuinely thank all of you for it ❤️ I was worried I was letting people down, but I'm so very thankful for everyone that reassured me otherwise. I will respond to you all. I'm not ignoring any of you, I promise.

Now onto something more serious. This is tagged as qsmp neg because I'm about to get really really angry with a certain part of this fandom.

Since Maxo unofficially confirmed qsmp is ending after the event, I've seen so many posts and reblogs along the lines of "the people upset because they had hope are in denial/ delusional/ crazy" or "the people thinking qsmp wasnt dead brought this upon themselves" which, basically, people are making fun of those who've had hope that the server will server. Now, don't get me wrong, we aren't exactly logical by having hope, and you're nit in the wrong for having a joke about people being "in denial" about the server closing.

That being said, the people blogging this only started doing it when Maxo unofficially confirmed its closure. So, technically there was still a small part of you that had hope, too, huh?

Not to mention, we are not in thr wrong for having hope or wanting to hold onto something that brought us so much joy, love, passion and creativity this past year. Leave us be. Let us be "in denial" or "delusional" or whatever you want to call us. It's fun over here. It's bright and positive and we all share the best memories of the past year. We don't WANT to look on the downside because it doesn't help us. It doesn't make sense to be consumed by all this negativity. It's very damaging to people's mental health if all they're seeing is "qsmp is dead" "quackity is cancelled" "all CCs hate qsmp" and other untrue statements.

As long as the fandom lives, qsmp lives. So why are you mocking us for seeing the qsmp in a positive and fun way? We're celebrating its life, not its death. This is a celebration, not a funeral.

I have had so many people message me, send asks, and tag me in posts to thank me for being positive about this situation even in the worst of times. And it's not that I'm saying "the admins are being mistreated? Oh well!" Because I'm not. What I'm doing and what I've done the past 3 or so months is remind people to take a breather, remind people to care for themselves and offer a place for them to vent to. I've shared my favourite moments of qsmp as a way to relive the best times whilst we go through the worst.

Can you not see that? Do you really think it's worth mocking me and others for?

If you genuinely believe I'm crazy or other insults because I see qsmp as a good thing, despite its faults, then please, unfollow me. Block me. Block the 'qsmp positivity' tag.

I will continue to spread hope about qsmp because I need it as much as others do. I owe myself to stay level headed and clear on qsmp because its done so much for me this past year. And so so many others see it the same way. I'm very grateful to be a place of positivity and safety during these trying times. I'm so thankful to everyone who has messaged me, sent me asks, followed me or even became my mutual because of this server.

I am so sorry for anyone that has been incredibly negative and doomposting excessively these past few months. It's very sad you felt the need to bring others down because you were sad too. But the there's a difference between being negative and actively ridiculing others for not being negative. And for those that have been doing the latter, stop. Stop trying to make us feel small for having hope for a server that has been our home for over a year.

If anyone feels like I'm being harsh, it's because I am.

February Creator of the Month: Noesapphic

Each month, CFWC highlights one of our talented fanfic writers or artists, and this month’s creator of the month is the lovely @noesapphic!   The writer is selected at random. More info can be found on the navigation page. Past COTM's can be found here.

Quick Links:

Tumblr Blog Masterlist

How do you want to be known on Tumblr? 

Noe is fine, really!

More below...

1- When did you start playing Choices? What was the first book you played? 

I started in 2018. I was bored in a friend's house and fighting good old insomnia when I saw the app and tried it for funsies. The first book was 'High School Story'. 

2- When and why did you join Choices fandom?

I joined around late 2018 early 2019 and I had just left my community in Amino because the admin had gone full puritanical dictator and I was curious about Tumblr.

3- How did you pick your blog name? 

It was simple: my nickname is Noe and I am a sapphic (aka lesbian). It's a no-brainer, really. 

4- Pull up the first post in your archive, and tell us about it!  

It was a reblogged quote. I related to what it said and I reblogged it 

5- Do you write fanfiction, create fan art, or are you one of those really gifted people who do both? 

I write fanfiction. God did not grant me art skills I'm afraid. My fingers are too fat and my pulse is terrible. 

6- How long have you been creating for Choices and for any other fandoms?

I've been creating for fandoms as long as I can remember. I've had a really troubled life, so creating stuff helped me. As for Choices, I've been creating stuff since 2019 

7- What is your favorite Choices book, and what is your favorite Choices book to create for?

Without a doubt, Desire and Decorum. The first book is simply a masterlist and its characters are so well-written, and everything about it just draws me to it. They definitely botched the other books, but it will always be in my heart. I also enjoy creating for other historical books and books that have similar themes 

8- Share your first Choices fanfic or fan art that you posted with us. Do you still like it, or would you change it if you were creating it today?

It was a set of headcanons of Mr. Sinclaire and my MC, Celestine, finding out that they're going to be parents. While my spelling is terrible, I wouldn't change a thing. The engagement I received was such, it drove me to write for more. I haven't stopped creating since. 

9- What your favorite piece of fiction or art that you created? 

It's no secret for anyone who pays attention to my blog: my au, The Cursed Heiress, is probably my best creation. It's complex and a juggernaut of lore and history, and has all I've ever wanted in a fic and book in it. Although a close second is my Tudor AU, For Love and Duty. I simply love the 'arranged marriage' trope 

10- Do you have a fic/art that you didn’t expect to be well received, but it was? What about one you expected to do well but found it could use a little more love?

The second part of a one shot, A True Man, was probably one of the most difficult to write, and with a very traumatising and important theme. I was 100% hoping anon hate telling me to delete it, but found instead that the people ate it up! It has now 30 notes (which is A LOT for a small fandom like the D&D one) and now that I reread it, I'm proud of what I created and the message I wanted to send, which resonates with happenings of my past and experiences. 

11 - If you could write only angst, fluff, or smut for the rest of your writing life, which would it be and why? 

Definitely angst. There's something so cathartic and relieving as letting out those emotions you can't express out loud without being locked up for being unhinged, and it has helped me understand myself many times. Also, smut is def something that I can't physically write 😅 

12 - Do you ever recognize yourself in any of your MCs or in your writing?

There are small parts of me in every MC. A fragment of my past. Something of their lore that I went through. Something I aspire to be. Something I wanted to be once. I like to think that every writer leaves a part of their heart and soul with each character they create. 

13 - What element of writing/art do you struggle with most?

Ooof, where to begin. I think the hardest part is to just write. I can go on for weeks looking at my turned-off laptop and goof off on Tumblr. But when I do write, the 'boring' parts or writing a character that I am not familiar with or that there isn't much info about can be challenging. 

14 - Do you have any neglected work you really want to finish?

Oof, where to begin, lol. My modern AUs, The Viscountess and Plan B. There's also Your Most Ardent Admirer and For Love and Duty. There's the fix-it fic series of the Blades LIs. Profiles of my MCs from several series. And also fic ideas that I want to create, but don't know where or how to start it. Woe is me indeed 😭 

15 - If someone you know in real life (who isn’t involved in fandoms) asked to see your work, would you let them? If yes, what would you show them first? 

Depends on the person. I would be very, very picky. I did show some parts of The Cursed Heiress to two trusted friends. But I wouldn't be against showing my mom a few chapters of The Viscountess… Unfortunately, she does not speak a word of English and I am terrible at translations, so it's wishful thinking, lol. 

16 - Are there any writers (published authors and/or fanfic writers) who influenced your writing or art? Are there any artists that influence you?

For the published ones, Holly Black and Cassandra Clare have probably been my biggest help. Leigh Bardugo is also a newer inspo, and Spanish author Laura Gallego got me into fantasy, and anonymous author Bebi Fernández's raw and brutal prose have helped me find my voice. I have now bought George R.R Martin's Game of Thrones, looking for new sources to grasp. 

As for fandom-wise, the very first writer to inspire me unfortunately hasn't been active since the pandemic, and despite our differences, @hellospunkiebrewster 's writing and essays got me into Regency and its history. My thriving years were by her side, and I'm grateful of having had a great fandom friend and hyper. The most recent ones are @missameliep my amazing fandom mom (te quiero mami 🥰) and some pieces by @princess-geek 's writing have inspired me to expand my horizon. 

17- Which one of your stories would you most like to see as a movie/series? 

The Cursed Heiress, definitely. I think that my messages would resonate with many people. There's also The Viscountess: many people should see the messages Nicole, Anne and others have, and for what I have planned (and have been stalling out of laziness 🫣) would put things into perspective for many minorities and certain groups that are neglected by society and governments alike.  19- Do you write original fiction or create non-fandom art? 

I am now at the outlining stages of making The Cursed Heiress an original novel. I tried many times to make my own novel, but always dropped it. But now that I've been for years with it, I feel like this might be the one project I dreamed of publishing one day. It's tough and scary, but I'm loving the ride so far. 

Also, I have tried my hand with poetry, but it didn't have engagement and felt like talking to a wall, so I now feel discouraged. But if someone out there is interested, lmk 👀 

20-  What other hobbies do you have?

Apart from literature, I love make-up, skincare, cooking and making gifs and videoedits. I also love travelling and discovering new adventures and learning as many languages as I am capable. I also love listening to music. Basically anything that has to do with the humanities and art, I'll take it. Also, I am very invested in modern royal gossip. I know, not very republican of me… 🫣😅 

21 - What’s your favorite emoji? 

Apparently, the one I use the most is 🫡🫶🏻👀. Heh, sounds like me, lol 

22: BONUS - tell us anything you’d like (if you want to).

____

Two reminders to both creators and onlookers alike: 

Creators: making content is NOT a race or a chore. It's something you make just because, and share it with the world. If you don't enjoy it, it's not worth the effort. 

Onlookers: I know how much you may love X thing, but remember that behind that art, fic, etc, there's a person with real feelings, real life and that is taking off free time to make something. Enjoy it, reblog it (please, reblog the stuff you love) and if you don't like it, filter the tag, block and move on. It's really that simple. 

Also, happy Valentine's Day AND Black History Month to the black creators of Choices! You're awesome and we love you ❤ sending you love 🥰

As someone who just got out of In Patient care, could you write headcanons as to how they would greet the reader when they first see them? Maybe it’s actually a surprise and they come to the Ministry first!

I can absolutely do this!! I hope you're doing well after being in inpatient care and that you're taking it easy now that you're home <3 I'm going to write the main 4 Papas for this one as you didn't specify who you wanted, but if you wanted another Ghost character(s) from my list please let me know and I can write the headcanons for them too. I hope you enjoy!! :) also trying a new thing I saw on here where the o or a at the end of Italian words is swapped out with an e to make it gender neutral! If this is wrong to do, someone please let me know! I wanted to make these as gender neutral as possible so that reader can be anyone of any gender so hopefully I've done that well

𝐏𝐫𝐢𝐦𝐨

Because of his age and how fragile his health can be, he wasn't able to visit as much as he would have liked but would video call whenever he couldn't visit in person

He knew you were going to be leaving inpatient care because his admin ghouls keep him updated on your progress

However, they hadn't given him the date because they wanted it to be a nice surprise for him!

You find him tending to the plants in his greenhouse with a couple of earth ghouls, back turned

If you're able to reach, you put your hands over his eyes from behind and do that "guess who" thing that you've seen on TV before when you would cuddle up in bed before you went into inpatient care

If you can't reach or you're too tired to do so, you'd do that corny "honey, I'm home!" that he loves so much

He'll have the biggest, warmest smile that anyone has ever seen

Will immediately pull you into the most gentle but warm and loving embrace

Won't let go for a while

"Il mie fiore, how I have missed you. Was your journey a comfortable one? Come, we should have some tea. I bought your favourite brew especially for your return. Had I know you were arriving today, I would have sent my ghouls to escort you here themselves."

Cups your face, placing gentle kisses all over as long as you're happy for him to do so

He won't pry information out of you, but he will make it very clear that he's happy to listen if you want to talk about your time in inpatient care

𝐒𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐨

One of the annoying parts about being such an important figure in the Ministry is that he can't be by your side 24/7 while you're in inpatient care

And he's already on thin ice with Imperator for using his ghouls to visit you instead of performing their duties around the Abbey (and even Terzo's ghouls when he needed them)

So, Secondo hadn't had time to check when precisely you were leaving inpatient care, just that there would be someone from the Ministry to pick you up and take you home when you needed them to

Imagine his surprise when he returns to his quarters after a long day of meetings, paperwork, and making preparations so that the Abbey was ready for your return if you need any accessibility adjustments

And he finds you waiting for him, laying on his bed with a couple of ghouls adjusting the pillows to make you comfortable

Will immediately send his ghouls out because that's his job damn it!

Plumps the pillows exactly how you want them, will bring you more blankets if you want them, has one of the siblings of sin on kitchen duty bring you whatever food or drinks or snacks you desire (and they will be the finest quality, he assures you)

Lots of slow, passionate kisses but he doesn't push any further than that. He knows you're likely tired from the journey and he wants you to rest up and make yourself at home rather than thinking about his dick

"I've missed you more than I can express, mie piccole uccelline. I'm sorry I couldn't be there to pick you up and bring you here myself. I won't be so flaky next time."

You'll need to reassure him at first that you're not upset with him for not picking you up himself and that you purposely didn't tell him as you wanted it to be a surprise

He'll show you every single photo that he took on his phone while you were in inpatient care to try and catch you up and make sure you don't feel like you've missed out on too much or that he's not considered you

Will also give you all the Ministry gossip that you missed while you were away. People think Terzo is the biggest gossip out of the brothers, but the way Secondo tells you every piece of dirt makes his younger brother seem clueless about the goings on in the Ministry

𝐓𝐞𝐫𝐳𝐨

Terzo is a difficult man to surprise

He visited as often as his duties and the location of your inpatient care allowed, so he was updated frequently on how you were doing and when you were likely to be coming home

However, as thorough and difficult to surprise as he is, there's something he didn't count on

That you, the staff, and everyone privy to the date you'd ACTUALLY be leaving the facility would give him a fake date

And so, in a rare moment, he is caught off-guard and completely surprised to see you sitting at the front pew of one of his sermons three weeks before he'd been told you'd be coming home

The sermon goes out of the window immediately in favour of rushing over to you and pulling you into the tightest embrace that he can muster

You will need to remind him not to be so rough with you and he'll apologise profusely while smothering you with kisses

Your face will be smeared with his papal paint by the time he's done with you

"Mie tesore. Mie cuore. Mie tutte. How did you manage to...? No, that can wait. Come, you must eat."

Straight up escorts you to the cafeteria. Sister almost has a meltdown getting someone else to step in for him. Terzo thinks this is hilarious

He'll sit with you the whole time in the cafeteria. He won't force you to eat anything, but he does make sure your favourite drink is brought to you with some snacks

Spends a lot of time holding your hands, kissing them, putting a hand on your back or an arm around your shoulders, doesn't want to be away from you now that you're finally there with him

𝐂𝐨𝐩𝐢𝐚

The moment he catches wind of you leaving inpatient care, that's it

He's so anxious about you coming home that keeping him in the dark to try and surprise him feels mean

So you tell him the date, but not the time so that there's compromise there

Yes, it's not a total surprise but there is still an element of it while he gets to count down the days and doesn't fret too much about the when

As soon as he sees you out of the car and the ghouls helping to unload your bags, he's on his tricycle speeding down the path to meet you

Might fall off at one point in his haste

When he finally gets to you, the tricycle is abandoned to sweep you up into his arms as he showers you with kisses and affection (ignores his back pain because he's so happy to have you back in his arms once again)

He'll even cry a little bit from how happy and overwhelmed with emotion he is at the fact that you're here and no longer in inpatient care

"Mie care, how miserable the Ministry has been without you gracing our halls! How was the trip? My ghouls took very good care of you, si? Did you eat? Have you had a drink? Did you nap on the way here? Were you comfortable?"

Despite being kept updated and visiting regularly, he still worries about you and wants to take care of you

Has the ghouls follow behind him with your belongings as he carries you all the way to his quarters, stopping occasionally to adjust you in his arms to make you as comfortable as possible

It's safe to say you won't be leaving his chambers that night. Not for any spicy reasons, but more because he's missed you so much and wants one night where you have each other to yourselves before life starts to return to normal (whatever normal is)

[is-the-character-aroacespec]

hello there, admin! just wanted to send in some kind words.

i run a couple gimmick blogs as well, and recently faced a death in my family, so i just want to say you’re fine in taking a break. if you feel it’s what you need, then that’s the best thing to do.

make sure to take care of yourself, alright? drink water, eat when you can- trust your stomach though, grief can make it act a little differently sometimes, and most importantly, make sure to rest. you’ll be okay, you just need time. take as long as you need.

you are a miracle of a living being. everything in the universe came together, all at once, by some miracle, to make you. things will get better for you, i know it. take your time. <3

yours truly, just an aroace idiot who loves this blog

Thank you so much for the kind words! I'm making sure to take it easy right now and just spending time with my family. The death didn't hit me as hard as it hit my mother so I'm making sure to spend a lot of time with her.

Thank you again for the concern, I hope you have a wonderful day too ❤️

[lexosaurus]

Hello! Very random and no worries if that's not your intention for the blog, but I love reading about your teacher experience and insights! Take this ask more so as encouragement to write more about it if you feel like it, because I'm going to start teaching soon (and yes, many people I've met have warned me about both its miracles and horrors lol) and it's really helpful to hear others' experiences :)

Thanks for the ask! Honestly I'm just a first year, so I don't have a tonnnn of advice to give. But here's a few general first year tips from one to a future another:

1 — No matter what, having a good department team is ESSENTIAL. You're going to be relying on them a lot your first year for help, advice, curriculum stuff, behavioral management stuff, etc. Talk to them, get to know them, have lunch with them, share issues/seek advice from them. You're going to encounter situations that your degree did not prepare you for (likely, in the first week lol. For me, it was Day 1) and having people around to help you judgement free is going to be crucial. I was super lucky that my department team and all the teachers from other departments that I work closely with are really amazing, easy to work with, etc.

2 — You're also going to want a good relationship with the "other" departments. The library staff, tech staff, sped department, guidance, janitors, etc. They're all lovely people, so don't be afraid to pop in to introduce yourself on the first week!

3 — Crazy things are going to happen. Like....all the time. Don't bring them home with you. As soon as you exit the doors, shake it off. All your students made it on the bus to their parents alive, so it's fine. Your job is done for the day. I've been going to the gym a lot right from school, and it's been really helpful to prevent myself from taking anything home with me so to speak.

4 — Document, document, document. Did something happen? Document it, email a copy to whoever's applicable: admin, guidance, sped, BCBA, etc. "Hello, just emailing a summary of what happened today" is not an uncommon email for me to send out. If an IEP isn't working, well at the next IEP meeting it shows they have 10 emails in the last month from you about little Timmy's hourly verbal threats and attempted physical violence to his classmates, so maybe the BCBA needs to do some data collection to adjust his BIP, or they need to give him a 1-1, or give him more resource intervention, etc.

5 — This isn't so much of advice, more like reassurance. The small moments when it clicks for a student and they get something, and then the confidence and excitement shows, it's really the best. That's probably why I've fallen so in love with working where I did. The other day, after weeks of struggling to help this student with Downs with his math, I tried a totally different approach based off a few example problems I saw in a math intervention workbook and hOLY HELL IT WORKED. It totally clicked for him, and the kid was so excited to do a problem out on the board for the class. It was amazing. Another student with an LD who I've been helping heavily school aced a quiz in one of her classes and legit ran into the room to show me. Cue me literally jumping out of my chair to high-five her, and her calling her parents to deliver the good news. Like, little things like that are really really special, and they're going to mean so much to you. And I hope you get to experience LOTS of them too!

Main Masterlist

She had a smart mouth. Javi assumes that’s probably why he likes her so much. On her first day at the admin desk, Javi had ambled down after hearing about the ‘pretty new administrator’ – those had been Steve’s words and their types were very different, but he couldn’t resist a look, and damn Steve had been right. He’d been smitten almost immediately. He wasn’t used to being told no, so when you’d repeatedly turned down his advances, he couldn’t lie, he was frustrated. 

“I like your nails, querida, the colour suits your eyes.” 

“I think I heard flavour of the week last week telling you hers would look good around your cock,” You replied, dry tone, “You’ll not get that from me, so hurry up and tell me what you want.” 

That had been the first time you’d left him speechless; you were always so blunt with him. He was used to women playing coy, making him chase but giving in anyway. This was different. You were different. 

“Can I buy you a drink, hermosa?” Friday night, embassy staff bar night. 

“I can buy my own and not feel obligated to fuck you, so I’m okay thank you, Agent Peña,” You were going to turn away from him, “But maybe if you ask Intern Number 4 over there, you’ll have more luck, she’s been practically deep throating her straw whilst watching you.”

Intuitive too, he had to hand it to you, he hadn’t noticed the intern at all, more focused on the curve of your ass in the bar stool and the shirt that was unbuttoned down to the neckline of your vest underneath. 

He was starting to lose the will to live. He’d never really wanted anyone so badly in his life, all because you never really gave into him. So, when he’s stuck with Murphy and you, grounded from field work as some sort of punishment, organizing the embassy archives, he knows this is his chance. 

He curses Steve silently all day for taking your side, the both of them make comments all day – Steve starts with, “I think this is the only time I’ve been in a room full of women Peña hasn’t fucked.” Then a little while later, when he’s confused with the filing system, you’re rolling your eyes with a “They’re sorted alphabetically, Javier, how the hell did you pass basic and end up here?” 

Steve dips out at five, if he’s not needed for fieldwork then he’s not staying in the filing room past hours – he leaves with a shot over his shoulder for the two of you to behave. Javier is looking at you as he says it and there’s a smirk across your face. Bingo. 

“You don’t wanna behave, do you querida?” 

He’s walked up behind you, catching you between his two arms that he has placed on either side of you, resting them on the desk. He stifles a groan as you press your ass back into him, “Depends what you had in mind, Peña?” You’d turned to face him, body impossibly close to his own. 

He moves a hand and tilts your chin up to look at you properly, his lips just millimeters from your own. He wanted to press a kiss there so badly, but now was not the time. 

“Shall we put that smart mouth of yours to better use?” 

[holdingforexo]

I'm the anon that wrote the novel on the exo separation btw, but I also want to throw it out there that it's entirely possible that I may be in the minority for feeling like Luhan & Zitao's departures were sudden. And I don't want to assume that my perspective was/is the same as most other exo-ls at the time.

Thank you for sending this in! I attached the first part of your message below—and I added some comments below that. It’s nice getting accounts from someone who was around during that time. I know this blog primarily serves as a countdown project, but I’m glad it’s also a place of safe discussions for EXO-Ls ♥️

I don't want this to come off as arrogant and "well I was there, so I know better" in any way, so I hope it doesn't. And admin please feel free to ignore this if you think my commentary on all of this is unnecessary. There is also so much personal conjecture in all of this. I clearly wasn't there with them in the room when they made their choices to leave, and it was so long ago. But this is just how I interpreted their decisions to leave as a fan of the group and them when they were a part of it. But for context, I've been following exo since predebut, and from what I remember, when Luhan left, it was pretty sudden. At least from a fan stand point. It hadn't been long since he-who-doesn't-deserve-the-time-it-takes-to-type-this left, and they were in the middle of a tour. Overdose was relatively new too. But with that being said, it wasn't exactly a secret that Luhan was struggling with his health, and it's entirely possible that he had talked about it with the exo members before making his decision to leave. To me, it always felt like he left because he felt like he had to for his own sake and not because he really wanted to. Like the potential for hard feelings there feels lower to me than Zitao per se. But that's just my own opinion on it. And with Tao, it kind of felt like he stole away in the middle of the night. I don't know if that makes sense or not. And I don't fault him for leaving either. It's no secret that SM has always treated non-Korean members of groups worse than their Korean counterparts. I think he just maybe saw a better, more successful future for himself apart from the group and apart from being a Korean based idol. And obviously he is doing well for himself now. I think making that choice for that reason has the potential for hurt feelings between him and the exo members though. Almost like he was using exo as a career stepping stone, if you will. But again, pure speculation on my part. And I wouldn't quite be able to blame him if that were his reasoning either. As for Lay, it's like comparing apples & oranges. He made a different choice, so some awkwardness between them makes sense to me. I think you said it very well that it's just about the relationships you choose to invest in. And I know fans don't really like talking about it 1) because it happened so early on in all of their careers and all parties involved became successful in their own right. 2) it was genuinely so heartbreaking to be a part of and watch go down. You could see how much it hurt the exos. And they had to just keep moving forward with the public watching their every move as they were dealing with whatever emotions they were feeling about it. It was... it was a lot. And 3) a lot of former exo-m enthusiasts/exo fans still have a lot of love for Luhan & Zitao and what they meant to the group and members back then. And I know most wish nothing but the best for them and their individual careers. But ultimately, it just makes the most sense to talk about them, 99% of the time, as the separate entities that they are and not in relation to each other or what when down nearly a decade ago.

I absolutely agree with you—that of the departures, Luhan’s felt more like a “need” rather than a want. I remember seeing a concert clip of Luhan’s last show with EXO, and the OP stated noticing everyone looked a bit sad, and extra attention was given to Luhan by the others. I think it was assumed everyone knew it was going to be their last show with Luhan. This, in part, is why I’ve thought Luhan’s departure was discussed among the EXO members. While probably not as close as EXO is now, I do believe Luhan was genuine friends with everyone—especially Minseok—so I can’t imagine he didn’t discuss things with them.

I obviously was not around when Zitao departed EXO. But, from going through content released during that time, it actually seemed, to me, like Zitao was the one with the most internal struggles about leaving. I don’t know how reliable this is, but I read Zitao prepared for CMB on a strained ankle, and continue to do so until his father had to come to South Korea to bring him home to China because Zitao was continuing work while extremely ill. EXO was in the middle of a comeback, and I think some people just assumed the lawsuit was for publicity. So when Zitao actually did depart, that’s why there was shock. Again, hearsay.

I think when the first departure happened, Zitao was probably the most upset and frustrated. I think it’s safe to say Zitao was closest to Sehun, and I find it hard to think Zitao didn’t at least discuss things with him, if not with everyone. Because of how Zitao responded during the first departure, I want to believe he wouldn’t do the same to the others.

Your mentioning of the departures hurting EXO makes me think about the statement they jointly released when Jongdae announced his marriage...

“Before officially announcing member Chen’s marriage plans, all of the EXO members took time to discuss the matter critically, and as all of the EXO members have previously suffered the hardships of losing members in the group, the team as a whole relayed their wishes to continue with the current members without changes. We also respected the members’ wishes in this matter, and so we again notify that there will be no member changes in EXO.”

If I’m remembering correctly, this was the first time they publically acknowledged the previous departures. The sentiment of wanting to stay together was from the members themselves, not the company. I think some people, especially solo fans, want to believe EXO are just colleagues, that there are no emotional attachments. But these men literally grew up together, and share experiences that no one else can relate. We only know what EXO wants us to know, and I think assuming anything about how real or fake their relationship and bond with each other is, is incredibly presumptuous. As you said, the events happened nearly a decade ago. I like to think time helps heal wounds. So, even if there were bad feelings, I hope time and hindsight provided everyone with clarity on what’s important to themselves.

Anonymous asked: i would like to apply but it wouldn't be the first time i've heard about this group being cliquey, and now this ask about not having enough space for new interactions to maintain activity. is this changed somehow and are you giving space for another characters and players be part of the plots and decisions and are there starters that are not closed or ship-based?

Hey Nonnie! Putting this under a read more because I feel like there's a lot here. First off, we would love to have you here but I understand your concerns and I want to address them.

In terms of us being cliquey, nobody has reached out to the admin team about this. Still, I understand it could be hard to approach a subject like that. If any of our muns feel this way, I plead for you to reach out. However, I can only speak on things I know. For a long time, eventiderpg was a small group. Most of our former muns are no longer here, we were only single digits then. But we did have a fun dynamic between us all. We were just down to clown and fuck around on the things Suzanne Collins gave us. Then we got a wave of new muns, most of which shared a history of a same roleplay. Our small group became bigger. In time, we got even more muns.

I think we have fun. It seems everyone is pretty active in our ooc channel on discord. Additionally, we regularly post questions for people to answer about their muses and people react to them. People send memes and tiktoks sometimes. My favorite thing is when people will see something written on the dash and send it to the discord with their reaction to it. But all in all, I think it's a vibe.

In terms of starters, we do have a starter blog with a decent bit of open ones on it! I would say that none of our opens are ship-based. Really our biggest restriction there has been in our most recent event. That's mainly due to some muses being in the arena or others being in places that only allow mentors or victors, etc. Those aren't the only starters we have though, and we're very past thread forward too! Which means whenever anyone joins, they're welcome to anything current as well as building their muse in the past however they see fit!

Our group is a fan of closed starters though, this is true. I certainly don't think it's a bad thing! We utilize plotting and starter calls a lot here. All you have to do is like them and soon you'll have someone in your DMs to plot or figure out a starter between your muses. I'm blown away with the things our muns come up with.

In terms of the plot, for our first two events we had approached different muns to involve them. For example, our Effie at the time found Porter Millicent Tripp before she ultimately passed. In our second event, our Madge was in on what was to happen as well as our Constantinus Snow was the one to end the interruption. We didn't approach anyone really for event 3, but that was mainly because it's the The Quarter Quell and a lot was already going on. Throughout it though we've collaborated with the muns who have muses in the arena!

We do ask in our mun intros now if they're open to being contacted about their muse(s) being used for plotting for the rpg as well. And we do try to put out a survey before every event to hear about our muns thoughts, because their voices are important to the admin team. We're slowly getting stuff finalized for our mockingjay era and approaching everyone for that. We will also put out more surveys for then as well.

Ultimately, it breaks my heart if people feel left out here. And if you do, please reach out to the admin team. We can try to resolve it as best as we can. But a lot of our muns have reached out and said how much they enjoy being here. I hope you still feel inclined to join. But either way, I hope you have a lovely day, Nonnie.

Clinic Hours- Colress x Fem reader

A/n : Felt in the mood for something clinic-y and medical and possibly sickfic-y :3 and decided it was about time to have some Colress on my blog! So here he is! Beloved Husband! <3 I ask for please no constructive criticism since I'm not in a place to handle it right now, and sorry if there are any medical inaccuracies too, just really wanted the esthetic and feeling...hope you guys enjoy it too! Sending hugs and warm wishes!

Warnings : medical stuff, idk, needles? Not overly romantic...

Clinic Hours- Colress x sick Fem reader

Y/n coughed and wheezed as she walked into Colress's lab and flopped down in a chair beside him.Colress turned to look at her.

"My dear, what happened?" He asked in a worried tone, eyes scanning over her for a better picture of the issue.

She coughed again, hacking and wheezing, and greatly worrying Colress as he waited impatiently for an explanation.

"It's really nothing! Remind me to never go fight a horde of Foongus and Amoonguss in an enclosed area again, don't mix poison powder and stun spore" she laughed awkwardly causing another coughing fit.

Colress's pupils dilated at the shocking news he just heard. "Very well, come with me to the clinic I have set up" he said leading her through a different door in the lab.

She saw some of his pokemon, Beheeyem and Magneton checking some charts and data as she noticed Colress stopped at an empty bed in a semi-large medical ward.Y/n's head kept spinning as she looked up at him.

"Please lay down on the bed Y/n" Colress asked.

She stood there feeling awkward "Colress, aren't you a scientist? Not a medical doctor?" She asked curiously.

He smiled, "well as much as I think team plasma was mistaken in its endeavors, it gave me the opportunity to learn skills I otherwise never would've thought I had" he explained.

"Like what" She asked curiously as Colress gently guided her to sit on the bed then lay down.

He smiled, "Well now, who do you think had to treat injuries and illnesses of the members on the Team Plasma Frigate? Most of the admins thought that a scientist who studies the potential of pokemon through the lense of genetics was close enough to a medical doctor so they dumped it on me, both pokemon and trainers, and I didn't want to let them down and I was surprisingly good at it, so I often held clinic hours once a month for the members back then" Colress recalled as he started testing her vitals, wrapping a blood pressure cuff around her arm, watching the numbers before deflating it then listening to her heart.

She smiled at his explanation. "Awwww! That's sweet of you Colress" she said as she got another coughing fit, Colress quickly started listening for any whistling or crackling sounds in her lungs.

He listened carefully and said "Y/n dear, I'll have Beheeyem and Magneton help your injured pokemon, alright? You just leave this to me" he explained.

"Alright" she agreed as she gave her pokeballs to Beheeyem and Colress wrote some notes down.

"Now then, can I take a blood sample Y/n?" He asked as he got a kit with the necessary tools for a blood draw.

Y/n sat up awkwardly.

"Is it necessary?" She asked nervously.

Colress smiled sadly, "I'm afraid it is, love" he said as she looked down sadly. Colress sighed, "This is an odd presentation for poison powder and stun spore, usually it causes weakness and fevers as well as muscle pain, so I want to see if perhaps you have an allergy to Foongus spores or at least figure out why it's happening the way it is and what I can do to do to fix it" he said as she nodded.

She lay down again silently as Colress tightened the tourniquet around her arm and started cleaning the area for the blood draw.

"It's just a few samples it'll be over soon" he consoled.

He kept praising his dear y/n as he inserted the needle into her arm and started collecting a few vials of blood.

She whimpered a bit at the awful feeling.

"I know baby, I know, you're doing great ok" he said as he finished up and taped a cotton ball to the area.

She got another coughing fit as Colress's worry grew. "Any other symptoms besides the nasty cough?" He asked, she groaned at the awful feeling, "sore throat and headache" she said.

Colress noded.

"In the meantime I'm giving you some heal powder, mix it with some water for some relief, alright? I'll work on fixing it" he said.

Y/n smiled, "Thanks Colress" she said.

Colress smiled and gave instructions to one of his Elgyem to give Y/n some heal powder and water while he walked off to analyze the blood samples he took.

He brought them back to his lab and set aside his pokemon research, since his lover's health took priority.

He started testing the samples he got looking at immunoglobulin E antibodies, as well as testing other samples for any other conditions he may need to know.

Colress was infact correct about the allergy, however the scientist in him wanted to make a solution to fix the allergy entirely instead of just easing symptoms.

"The potential of pokemon" he mumbled as he wrote down his thoughts. He started working on a solution using the help of a Foongus he caught a while back.

He came to a weird conclusion.

Using the spores found in the ancestor of Foongus and Amoonguss, Brute Bonnet, he can relieve the allergy that his lover had.

To do this he'd need that rare pokemon from far, far away.

So he contacted any available professors in the Paldea region and asked if they wouldn't mind trading over that paradox pokemon, and sure enough they agreed.

He went to the trading station in the lab and received the paradox pokemon.

Then immediately started finding ways to completely cure her allergy.

He harvested some spores off of it and synthesized a cure for her. Then had Brute Bonnet play with the other pokemon.

He smiled at his hard work while walking back to the clinic section, to Y/n's bed.

Colress smiled as there was a noticeable and positive change in her breathing.

"How are you feeling Y/n?" He asked.

She cheerfully smiled and hugged him.

"I feel great Colress! Thanks for helping me out! You were right about heal powder granting some relief" She said.

He smiled at her cheerful remarks.

"I'm very glad Y/n but we're not quite done here" he said.

She awkwardly tiled her head to the side waiting for him to continue.

Colress sighed and explained "I can't very well let you go back to training and adventures knowing you have an allergy like this, now can I?" He smiled sadly.

She noded sadly in understanding.

Colress gently held her hand in his.

"So let me cure it completely" he said.

Y/n looked puzzled.

"Already?" She asked.

He laughed happily.

"Yes my dear, synthesizing a cure for an illness like this isn't too hard, I was able to accomplish fusing Kyurem and the legendary dragons afterall as well as Solgaleo and Lunala with Necrozma afterall" he explained.

She beamed with delight.

"Wow I really do have the most amazing boyfriend ever!" She happily chirped.

Colress smiled.

"I love you Y/n, please always come find me when you're in need of assistance, I'll ways help" he promised as Y/n hugged him tight.

"Now now, hold still my dear, I still need to inject you, ok?" He stated.

Y/n nodded and looked away nervously as Colress was quick about injecting her.

"There! Perfect" he said as he gently covered the area with a small bandage.

Y/n smiled as she pulled Colress to sit on the bed with her as she cuddled him.

[bright-haired-teacher]

got here early this morning, like i do every morning, and the doors - all 4 of the double doors - to our hallway were locked. i went back downstairs, through the downstairs hallway and up the back stairwell which (thankfully) was not. sat down in my chair and started eating my breakfast while sending a ranty text about it to the group chat (4 other teachers here who are also tired of this damn place, bc they’re all in my department and hate what they did to ELA at this school) 

my neighbor gets here with kids for tutoring, peeks her head in my door, and says, “thank you for getting here first!” lmao i needed that. 

and that, dear friends, is what i am going to miss about this place. these are good people that i am leaving behind. (mind you, most of them are also leaving.) but we’ll all be scattered. they took a good thing - a strong, cohesive department who all respect and support each other, who all share ideas and solutions, who stand up for each other - and ruined it. 

every one of us started this year with the intention to be returning next year. we spent time outside of school celebrating birthdays and milestones, helped one of us through a breakup, another through a death. we all showed up for people - when that former student died from a car accident, we all went to the vigil. when our school psych’s husband died, we all went to the funeral. we’ve had late-night conversations about injustices at the school and early morning pep-talks just to fucking show up. (and sometimes “sorry ladies, i can not be there today”)

in the 7 years i’ve been here, this team is the strongest it’s ever been. and admin even complimented us on that! we are a unit! we would speak to admin as a group, not individually. we would do our evaluations in pairs, not separately, and team teach our classes. we worked together. we are a unit, and admin claimed to love that.

and then they ruined it, by giving us a shit plan that we all knew was shit and we all said was shit and they ignored us, started babysitting us and criticizing our every move, and took away all our autonomy. 

and they think we want to stay? 

i want nothing more than the five of us to stay next year. i love these people. i’m sure i’ll find My People at my new school eventually, but i have My People now. i don’t want to lose them! (and i’m sure we’ll still chat, but it’s not the same ofc.) 

but how can we stay when admin will just do the most to us, and expect us to lie down and take it? to violate contract and expect us to be okay with it? to change our teaching assignments around and think we won’t be upset? to take away everything that makes language arts great to teach and think we’ll just go along happily like nothing is the matter? fuck dude, even my students know i’m unhappy as shit with this and a lot of them are oblivious as a box of shit lol. many have told me “this is bullshit” and “i haven’t learned anything since december” and i’m like i KNOOOOOOOOW i tooooooold them. but all i can do is apologize and say “it wasn’t my decision, i’m sorry, it wasn’t supposed to be this way.” like. no one feels worse about it than i do. 

admin thinks this is all fine, we’re all perfectly happy and can’t wait to start next year with their boots on our necks. admin has already learned that 3 of us are leaving, and once i get an offer 3 makes 4. half of the reading department is dipping too. want to know how to nuke an entire english/reading department? dm me for my admin’s emails. 

anyway. idk where i’m going with this, just a lot of emotion. anger, frustration, SADNESS. i wouldn’t be here right now without the support of these amazing teachers (and, well, my therapist lbr). it shouldn’t have been this way. they could have listened to us. they could have taken our concerns. they didn’t. they didn’t. and now they don’t have an ELA/reading department next year. 

i hope they’re pleased with themselves, though. actions have consequences. you fucked around, and you’re about to find out. 

ok i’m done. i should get some of this grading done or something lol idk.

Snowpoint anymore! Pokemon Platinum

1/11/23

After getting through Canalave city its time to beas some galactic admins and then up to snowpoint city.

Commander Saturn is much simpler than before. With Jolteon I can easily take out golbat. Switch into houndoom to take out bronzor then switch into Gliscor to 2HKO the Toxicroak with aerial ace taking very little damage!

With that done its commander Mars and much the same attitude. Thunderbolt golbat with Jolteon, flamethrower Bronzor with Houndoom switch into Empoleon for Purugly to eat the fake out before 2HKOing with Surf.

I have seriously been thinking about picking up Gallade for this game as a fighting type will make life so much easier. I am holding off still for now.

With the commanders defeated I travel north throug Mt. Coronet to the gorgeous snowy regions. And disaster strikes. I am trainign against the trainers on the route and near the end is a lovely ace trainer with a seaking. Now being a water type I send in Carnivine! He will be fine! He will do great sure he only knows vine whip but he should manage right???

No.

Seaking knows poison Jab. Carnivine is OHKO's by a seaking.

I am more annoyed than upset and send in Jolteon to remove the offensive pokemon. I suppose I should have expected this. I had just got my hopes up for him when he OHKO's a mr Mime with Crunch. But alas Carnivine is dead.

I make it the rest of the way to snowpoint but with only 4 team members I really am cutting it fine. I have been lazy with my choices up to this point but decide its time to add a new member to the team. So I head on a catching spree around sinnoh, originally I aim for probopass. 5% chance rate cuts that off as I am forced to catch chingling instead. I attempt a ralts on route 208 but unfortunately its female. I get a duskull from 209 due to the night time and a magikarp and Remoraid from pastoria city and route 213. In the end however I decide to tap into my Oreburgh encounter. After a 2 hour trip underground I find what I am looking for. An armour fossil. Fortunately my trainer ID is positive meaning in my underground I can find armour fossils. I quickly revive him to create my new team member. Basil the Bastiodon.

I have actually always loved the look of Shieldon and Bastiodon. I have never used them because I know they have significant weaknesses in their speed. But being a horrifically powerful defender both physical and special I think we can do quite well together. I quickly level him up for Candice's Gym.

Ok, a much tougher team than before but not too difficult I think. I start Bastiodon vs Sneasel. Fortunately due to sneasel's naturally low defence and inability to touch bastiodon she is one shot with Iron tail (I got the tm from Iron island on a quick visit). Next in however is Piloswine. Fearing the Earthquake that is inevitable I switch to Gliscor. Risky but the right play as I avoid the attack. On Avalanche I switch to empoleon who tanks the hit and outspeeds to OHKo the Piloswine with a surf. Next in is abomasnow. I send in Houndoom who handily takes an avalanche before flamethrower OHKOs Last but not least is Froslass with snow veil and double team it sneaks up to +3 evasion. Feint attack however hits through being the main reason I kept it and manages to 2HKO the Froslass.

A very clean fight but there are some real challenges to come now with Cyrus and the distortion world. Hopefully I keep up this pretty great streak I have.

Badges won: 95

Pokemon used: 105

Pokemon Lost: 54 (Rip Carnivine).

Misconceptions Regarding MCC14

Recently there have been a load of misconceptions regarding many of the controversies that happened this MCC, especially on Twitter and Tiktok, so I thought I would make a giant post detailing these and why they are wrong so I can scroll through my dash in peace.

1. Hbomb purposely abused a glitch in HITW that got Illumina and Mefs banned from MCC on the practice server. 

This one can easily be broken down into three components: 1. Misinformation about the glitch itself 2. Misinformation about the Mefs and Illumina incident 3. When does abusing a glitch count as cheating?

Firstly, the glitch Hbomb used is actually very common in HITW and has been around since the game was first introduced. The devs know about it and have not made any complaints about it because the usage of the glitch itself is heavily luck based (depending on the ping of the player) and does not guarantee a win to any player who does get it. Take for example PearlescentMoon who has used the glitch repeatedly throughout many competitions (i.e MCC 11), yet has not gained any significant advantage through it because, again, there is still an element of skill required to use it. This glitch is not only known by the devs, but has been used before in HITW. It is not something new that Hbomb exploited as a means of getting ahead.

Secondly, the Illumina and Mefs situation is not at all comparable to the Hbomb one. Illumina and Mefs were using a completely different glitch which did guarantee a win to the player because it allowed the player to afk on the platform and allow the blocks to pass through them. They were not banned for exploiting this glitch, but rather reprimanded by Scott and the devs for not reporting it to them sooner. Mefs and Illumina are still allowed in MCC and only didn’t compete this time because the teams had already been formed.

Finally, in regards to the idea of cheating itself when using such a glitch, the idea that what Hbomb did counts as cheating is absurd considering past MCCs and the various glitches which have been abused as well. I’ve seen a lot of people mention the infamous Wilbur Glitch and I think its a perfect example. The Wilbur Glitch is from the game Rocket Spleef which was not played this MCC but certainly will be in the future. The glitch involves the player becoming stuck in a block and seemingly floating in the air allowing them to basically secure a win without admin intervention. This glitch is much more OP than the glitch Hbomb used, and we have even seen admins purposefully try to kill players for using it (i.e Philza MCC11). However, even when players have purposefully attempted to get it (Wilbur, Phil, Quackity, etc.), I have never seen the fandom react so negatively as to accuse them of cheating. It is not fair to accuse Hbomb of cheating when he abuses a glitch which has been in the game for ages and not do the same with your favourite creators who do a much more busted glitch as well. Personally, I don’t consider either of these cheating, but that’s my opinion.

2. They removed Parkour Warrior because Dream was too good. That’s not fair.

Okay, this one is very simple as its just not true. This falls under the assumption that Dream was the only player to finish Parkour Warrior which is not true (PeteZahHutt completed the course twice and was the first to ever complete it in MCC 6). While the reason the Parkour Warrior map was destroyed in MCC 11 is said to be that EpicLandlord destroyed it because “he was annoyed at how good Dream was at it”, this is mainly a joke (think of the Ranboo being banned from MCC situation, while Ranboo isn’t in MCC there’s no actual beef and he’s not actually banned.) Secondly, if you weren’t around for Parkour Warrior when it was still in MCC, or have only ever seen Dream or Pete’s POV, you might not know, but Parkour Warrior was a miserable game mode (think Build Mart/Bingo but ten times worse because there was no chance to improve your placement other than just being good at Parkour). The game was 10 minutes of pure rage and frustration from competitors, which while entertaining at times, wasn’t the best for content when only two POVs in the entire competition were deemed watchable. This also wasn’t good for a competition because it meant that only two teams at most were progressing (and by a large amount) due to one player while the rest lagged behind. It gave the teams which had Pete and Dream a huge advantage and made the game unfun and unfair to everyone else, so they revamped the game (to Parkour Tag) to make it an even playing field where everyone had a chance to win (in the spirit of MCC). 

3. Scott had an unfair advantage in the competition and should be removed from the Dev Team or the Participants List.

This one is slightly more nuanced and may not have a definitive answer. Yes, Scott does have a slight advantage due to being a part of the dev team in every MCC. However, this MCC was definitely an outlier in that fact. Scott has been known to share info and tips with his teammates in past MCCs, but it has not truly impacted their performance on a significant level because the players knew a majority of the information anyways (the game rules, maps, etc). This MCC was unfair because Scott had a bigger advantage than originally assumed (it doesn’t mean he did it with malicious intent, it just means there was a severe oversight when designing the maps and explaining the rules to players). Also, the idea that Scott was guaranteed a win because he was part of the Dev Team is ridiculous and untrue. 

Scott has always been treated on the same level as any other player and has not been giving special privileges because he helped work on the tournament. Take for example MCC 8. Scott was teamed with Tommy, Philza, and Wilbur, and they were doing very well! Then came (wait for it), Ace Race. Scott experienced a glitch which allowed him to remain with his Elytra activated for half the course and allowed him to skip over multiple checkpoints and placed him in first. However, by skipping over these checkpoints the game corrected his placement and put him in last. This was seen as not fair at the time and the Red Rabbits did complain, to which Noxite responded that there was nothing they could do and Scott would just have to finish the round as normal. This glitch severely impacted the Red Rabbits standings and possibly led to them not being able to compete in Dodgebolt that MCC. Yet, Scott was never treated differently than any other player throughout the glitch despite being a part of the Dev Team.

For the next MCC, I certainly think that Scott should be allowed to play as normal. I truly believe this MCC was a fluke, and although I too felt a little salty seeing my favourite go from 2nd to 30th, I believe that it is not worth getting up in arms about it because at the end of the day there is a whole season of competitions where any team has a chance to win. 

4. They should have restarted the round and allowed the participants to retry the map.

While I too would have loved to see a rematch for Ace Rae, I would like to say that I, and probably many of the people playing, knew that it wasn’t going to happen. Noxcrew is very strict about the way MCC is run, it’s why I think it works so well. However, this means that they will not budge on these rules even in the face of something such as this competition’s Ace Race debacle. In the entire time of MCC, Noxcrew have only once ever restarted a round. This was in MCC 7 during Battle Box after there were server issues causing extreme lag for everyone (and Wilbur and Magistrex blew up their own teammates). It was unlikely that they were going to restart the round due to the mistake, and honestly, it might’ve caused more trouble than good to reset the points and the entire round of Ace Race. 

5. The Spirit of MCC

This last one is more of a general statement than a misconception, but I would like to say that I have seen a lot of newer fans confused and upset about this MCC’s outcome. However, I would like to remind everyone that at the end of the day MCC is a for-fun tournament which brings MCYTs of every background to compete and have fun. Yes, there is an element of competitiveness as it is a competition, but it goes against the very spirit of the competitions to be toxic and rude in spite of not winning or placing lower than you expected. At the end of the day, it is a MC tournament that has no monetary prize other than a golden coin. It is immature to slander, spread misinformation, or send death threats and harassment over such a tournament and I wish shame upon anyone who’s first reaction to not winning or their team not winning was to do such a thing. MCC is a brilliant tournament that has changed the game for how MC Competitions have been done, and it is disheartening to see the hard work Noxcrew and Scott have done be disrespected as such. I hope next MCC the fandom can come together and make this the lovely fandom event it once was.

Hi! I’m happy to see that requests are open I hope you’re doing well!

May I please request an ikevamp for comte, leo, arthur, vlad, faust and Charles (if you feel comfortable enough with they’re characters if not just the first 3 are okay! With an mc who maybe struggles with eating enough and purposely reduces her food intake to feel better about her appearance? If it’s too touchy I totally understand!

Thank you!

Hi anon! I’m so sorry this took so long, school and finals are kicking my ass but I finally got to it! But regardless, thanks so much for the request, I hope you're doing good as well! ^^

Unfortunately, I don’t know enough about Charles, Vlad, and Faust to write about them, so I’m gonna have to omit them. :( But regardless, I hope you like this!

This is a bit short sorry about that.

Comte de Saint-Germain

He’s very perceptive of those around him, so he notices right away when you’re not eating as much

“Ma chéri what’s the matter? Are you not feeling well?”

Of course, you try to reassure him otherwise, but he manages to pry the truth out of you.

“You must eat, it’s not healthy otherwise. It doesn’t matter to me what your outward appearance may look like, all that I care about is that you are healthy and happy my beloved. You mean the world to me and I could not ask for more.”

Leonardo da Vinci

“Cara mia?” he looks down at you just staring down at the plate of food in front of you, “Is what we’re eating not to your liking?”

Though you wave him off, he’s very perceptive. Yet he doesn’t press you further, at least not until the two of you are alone. 

“There’s something you’re not telling me, what is it?”

That’s when you break down and tell him, that you’re not satisfied with your body and how you look therefore you’ve been purposely reducing your food intake.

He’s surprised to say the least, but pulls you into his embrace, “I had no idea you were going through something like that. I am so sorry that you had to endure something such as that on your own. I promise that from now on, we can face it together. To me, you are beautiful no matter what.”

Arthur Conan Doyle

“Love? You’re not eating?” he frowns looking over at you. “What’s the matter?”

He can immediately tell that something’s off, like c’mon, man’s wrote a wholeass series about a smoking hot detective, of course he’s gonna find out.

He comforts you, but assures you that no matter what, he still loves you.

Very soft! He has his own insecurities so he can see where they’re coming from.

A reminder that my requests are open!!! So if you’d like to send something in, don’t be afraid to give me something to write!

Wanna know what else I’ll write for? Here you go! Just be sure to read the requesting rules before you send anything in.
